After checking into the Starlight Hotel once again, Ye Qing sat by the window, sampling the food he had just bought and quietly waiting for Xu Jiujiu to arrive.
Come to think of it, Ye Qing had never even visited the Star Luo Empire's palace. Mainly, he did not particularly like places like that, with their tight security and complicated rules. Besides, there was nothing much to see.
Anyway, every time he arrived in Star Luo City, Xu Jiujiu would receive word. All he had to do was wait for her here.
Sure enough, before long, Xu Jiujiu's lovely figure appeared before him in a long golden dress, like a beautiful butterfly.
"Xuan! I missed you so much~" The princess walked lightly up behind Ye Qing, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her face against his shoulder.
"I missed you too. That's why I came to see you first thing, didn't I?" Ye Qing smiled faintly, took Xu Jiujiu's hand, and drew her into his arms. "Come have something to eat with me. No matter how many times I eat the food in Star Luo City, I never get tired of it."
Xu Jiujiu obediently sat on his lap, and they finished the food before them amid conversation and laughter.
They only met once a year, so Xu Jiujiu especially treasured her time with Ye Qing. It was fortunate that this was the Douluo Continent; otherwise, a long-distance relationship without any contact all year round would definitely be doomed sooner or later.
Seeing how Xu Jiujiu had eyes for him alone, Ye Qing's gaze flickered slightly, and he quietly began planning a few things.
But...
He still needed to test the waters a little.
Over the next three days, Ye Qing accompanied Xu Jiujiu as she enjoyed herself
